  The property itself was really nice.

  No expense spared. The surroundings were beautiful and it was amazing to see little lambs in the field next door. Walks from the door and nice area to explore. Really nice walks within short driving distances too. Some cracking little pubs nearby too. Not quite within walking distance but driveable. Made a friend with the owners dog he is amazing! A few items to be aware of if you plan on visiting. The road upto the cottage is very rough. If you have a small car you will struggle. I have an AWD and I was surprised I didn't damage my car going up and down it. Bring your own basic condiments such as salt, pepper, cooking oil, foil etc otherwise all washing and dishwasher items are supplied. Heating is controlled by the owner via an app. The actual control is abit tricky to override if you don't know how to use it and unless you have the fire going you won't feel the affects of underfloor heating. The owner in future should explain to people staying how you override it. There was no welcome pack. Need to supply a book as of yet there isn't anything with any guidance or instructions. The property would also benefit from a key safe so that on departure you can leave your key safely. The owner wasn't there when we left on the morning so we had to leave it with next door. With some minor tweaks and improvements this place would be perfect.

  The Piggery is a lovely cottage.

  The cottage is set on a hill outside the village of East Morton on a farm. After a bone rattling car ride up the track the view from the cottage is amazing. Inside there is a utility room with laundry facilities and second loo. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners had left us some milk and eggs. The lounge is very comfy and has a smart TV. We didn’t find the TV that easy to control as the remote is very sensitive! The bedroom has plenty of storage and the bed is comfy. There is a nice en suite with walk in shower. We were fortunate to have sunny weather when we were there and the bedroom gets very hot as there is only one opening window. We could have opened the bedroom door and let the air through from the lounge but we don’t like the dog in the bedroom so we had the door shut. So maybe a fan would be welcomed? The garden was fine for our dog- it’s not enclosed but our dog just pottered about the grassy area in front. All in all a lovely place to sit with a g&t and watch the wildlife - we saw housemartins, red kites, buzzards, an owl, pheasants and a kestrel. We’d definitely go back. A visitors book would be good for people to leave tips for places to visit& eat out etc . We had day trips to Ilkley, Grassington, Bolton Abbey and a walk along the canal at Five Rise Locks.

  Cons Difficult access via a long, bumpy dusty road full of deep potholes and not very many passing places.

  Had to reverse numerous times along the deep pot hole access road. Hard to see around sharp corner to exit onto main road. Hot Tub bubble setting tripped all electricity in property owner on day 3 owner promised to sort with electrician following day but heard nothing so could not use hot tub for remainder of stay, although electricity restored quickly. No storage at all in double bedrooms just coat hooks on wall. Door hit the bed in one of the rooms so limited space. Access to 3 of 4 storage drawers under beds in twin room which was only storage for clothes for whole property. Twin room has no mirror and only tiny mirror in hallway v difficult for adults using twin room to get ready when plug socket required for hair dryer / straighteners. Very noisy Cockerell, geese and peacocks from 4am. Kids in play area in front of property and sweeping outside bedroom windows from very early..not very restful. Fridge too small to store food/ drinks/milk for 6 adults for a weeks stay. Pros Very close to Howarth and surrounding area for exploring. 3 bathrooms 2 with walk in showers Fans provided in all rooms Everything provided for stay..tea towels, cloths, dishwasher tablets, foil and well stocked kitchen, although not 6 small juice glasses when property sleeps 6. Enjoyed stay but would not stay again.

  We had a wonderful week here in March!

  We were greeted by the owner who was really friendly and welcoming! Our year old Springer was immediately at home with plenty of space to run around and was welcomed with a pack of dog biscuits! The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed and more, it was a real home from home. Probably the only things I could think to add would be a separate bin for recycling and an information pack! When we had an issue with the heating, it was immediately rectified even though it was into the evening! We were able to walk out from the cottage and explore the surrounding area and just at the bottom of the lane we had a lovely meal in the local pub which is alongside a great community shop! The views from the cottage are so beautiful, and sitting with coffee in the morning and a glass of wine late afternoon admiring them, meant that we went home totally relaxed! A week just didn’t feel long enough so we will definitely be going back!

  We had such a lovely relaxing stay at the old hen shed over Christmas.

  The Hun shed had everything we needed and was super clean and comfortable. Jo and Stu left some lovely biscuits and welcoming treats which was a lovely surprise. They were so helpful and informative. The animals were lovely and our children Loved learning about them and Jo letting them feed the Alpacas, especially the cheeky and very funny Ronnie. The hot tub was a real treat and we really enjoyed using it each evening, The site itself is lovely and so peaceful, also in easy reach of walks and shops and pubs. Prior to our arrival I had called Stu who was happy to tell me about local events and nice pubs so I could plan our trip and book tickets etc which was really helpful and greatly appreciated. We will certainly be booking again in the future and have been telling our friends and colleagues about the old hen shed too. Thankyou for a lovely holiday and all the care and attention throughout from such lovely hosts.
